So I'm guessing he was pouring out water and then while off camera he poured some real fuel on the porch...at least I hope it wasn't pretreated and he walked across it...that could have gone poorly...

Yeah but hey, Alex was the one who really wanted him to audition for Marble Hornets.
Yeah all goes back to Alex, he pushed Tim into being filmed and he apparently went looking for TO after seeing him on camera. He also led his friends to death. Tim may have been the source for everyone in MH but Alex took it to the point it is at now.

 		I nearly freaked out when I saw the gas can in Alex's hand, because I kept waiting for Tim to pull out that lighter of his and make this the last entry.

Went back and looked at Entry #60.5, at the suicide risk form. One of the box mentions that Tim has/had a "plan with actual or potential access to planned method," but his plan didn't include a gun (although the form notes his replies were questionable). Still, to have that back there plus Tim's remark that he didn't trust himself with a gun, and his worsening depression/loneliness? It's looking more and more like even if Tim survives Alex and TO, he won't be the one posting the final entry. Sad

 		"You know where I'll be! Red Robin!"

I apologize if that's already been said.

My guess is that what was on the porch wasn't conventional fuel at all. Certainly not the lighter fluid that was in the bottle. It was probably some kind of alcohol, possibly ethanol, which burns with a relatively cool flame that doesn't easily ignite anything else, although you could still hurt yourself with it.

Either that, or Trosephim accidentally burned their house down while making this entry...

Totally a legit place he could be.

Entry was pretty good. If everyone is gone, I wonder if we will ever find out what happened to Sarah and Amy officially.

Hate to say this but this entry was just too unrealistic. Before, cops would have just said they were making shit up. But now, Tim has footage, of 1. Alex commiting murder. And 2. Alex burning down a house that was on the news.
Even Tim by now would go show this to someone and be like "take this mothafucka to jail."

Which would actually be cool because then they could have The Operator teleport Alex out.


Alright, then the police will ask questions like "Why did he do this?", "What is he talking about when he mentions Jay and Brian?" etc...



Also: He probably had a bag with essentials incase shit hit the fan and brought it with him to his car (probably includes a laptop), how else would he upload this video?

Yeah, I don't think it was that unrealistic. If the police didn't have a habit of treating Tim the way the Everyman HYBRID guys said the police treated them (which was to consider them pranksters and dismiss their videos), then they likely wouldn't be too ready to call out the entire force to chase down a teleporting, memory-wiping, faceless humanoid horror. If there were no police after Entry #49 (I think it is where Alex strangles a human being to death), then there might not be any after this).

I'm not even sure how I feel.

He should have tackled him then and there, he gained the element of surprise for a reason

OOG, They set fire to the porch?! Awesome!

What did Alex mean Tim would know where to find him? Rosswood?


Well,
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Tim's been through a fire in his room at the asylum, and he's been taken back there twice (and cowered back against the wall), so being only a few feet away from someone about to set his home ablaze [this entry was wicked claustrophobic--the terror Tim must have been experiencing was captured well], right after he stepped in lighter fluid, must not have been good for the old psyche. And it probably doesn't translate into much impetus to spring to one's feet.

I do feel a little annoyed that they pulled the same "you know where to find me" stunt in two entries back to back.


This one's a lot more fuckin' intense than the last one, though.

Does Alex think Tim's been deliberately putting other people in TO's path to save himself? Has Tim been doing that, however subconsciously?


I don't think Alex cares about whether Tim's done anything deliberately or subconsciously or not. He's identified Tim as the source of the whole mess, including of Alex's own suffering and of what's led him to take the actions he has. I think that's all one to Alex--who may be "crazy" but also can make a legitimate case for pinning blame on Tim.

I personally don't see Tim as deliberately putting others in TO's path. But Alex has a point. It's undeniable that Tim brought TO into everyone else's lives, and in that sense if they're all "gone" because of TO, they're all "gone" because of Tim.

 		Rather off-topic, but I can't help remarking that Alex must've had the same pair of sneakers for years. They're the same ones in this entry (blue with white stripes and different laces on each) that they were in Entries #50, #51, and #80.

Either that or he buys not only the same type of sneaker every time (nothing wrong with that) or even the same color scheme (if you're comfortable, go with it), but also the same color scheme for the laces. That's pretty fuckin' demented.

Now we know who lit up Jay's apartment. Alex is the resident firebug


Why would he have done it, though? To flush Jay out and get him on the run and vulnerable?

 		My Theory For Why This is All Happening
So, with the whole "You're the 'source' it's your fault" thing, I'm pretty much assuming that a) Tim is the "cause of the Operator and Alex is trying to "get rid of it." My guess is that anyone who has started showing the symptoms is somehow a "secondary" source that would still do what Tim is apparently doing (IDK, has Alex ever shown them? To my knowledge, it's just been the masks and Jay).

I'm not sure how this plays into Alex seemingly being teamed up with the Operator, but I'm assuming that will be better explained when we know what the Operator is/wants/where it came from.

If this turn out to be even partially true, I wonder if it will play in at all with the film.

I'm a little confused. Either the Operator wasn't involved with Alex early in life and Alex is blaming Tim for his introduction-Or Alex is in denial of its existence and is blaming him.

THe burning down must symbolize the hospital.


There's no evidence of TO being connected with Alex from an early age other than "enttry #37", which is of dubious origin.

Alex is blaming Tim for everything because TO latched on to Alex and the MH project because of him (he's sort of a carrier, a Typhoid Timmy). Alex is even blaming him for the bad things that he himself did, whether under TO's influence or out of desperation--including what happened to Jay--because it's easy to wash your hands of something evil or sick that you've done when you can blame (even with some good cause) someone for making you evil or sick.
